Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for sorting randomly distributed refuse sacks containing different types of refuse sorted at source. Each refuse sack has a predetermined means of identification (R, G, B, O, GR) for each type of refuse sorted at source. In the sorting, the refuse sacks are transported for them to be identified in successive sorting stations and separated so that refuse sacks containing a predetermined type of refuse are sorted out at the sorting station intended for this purpose. In the method according to the invention, in at least one sorting station (10a, 10b, 10c; 14a, 14b, 14c) refuse sacks containing another predetermined type of refuse (R, G, B, O, GR) and provided with associated means of identification are identified and separated.

Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Ring or disc optical resonators are provided with random or coherent corrugation on a top surface to cause optical power to be radiated in a desired direction by light scattering. The resonators may be positioned proximate a waveguide, either in-plane or inter-plane with the waveguide. The resonators are used in a polymeric photonic display. Light at each fundamental color is generated by light emitting diodes, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The light is coupled into waveguides that cross an array of diffractive elements, such as the resonators, each combined with an optical modulator, such as a polymer electro-optic (EO) modulator. The modulator allows light from the waveguides to reach the diffractive elements. Control lines run across the waveguides, and provide control signals to the modulators, allowing one row of diffractive elements at a time to receive light from the waveguides. The rows are scanned and synchronized with light generated by the OLEDs.
